Oops forgot to post mine. I've actually had two bad moments unfortunately. Once was pizza, I wanted some so bad I took a bite. But when it was in my mouth I felt guilty and spit it out but tasted AMAZING but just couldn't swallow. Second was actually just tonight. My family had gotten Boston market. I LOVE their food but knew I couldn't eat anything except potatoes and maybe corn so I was satisfied. But then they opened up the Mac and cheese which before surgery I could eat the whole thing by myself. I gave in a had a spoonful. Was it good, hell yea, was it worth it, don't think so especially cuss I'm only a month out and only down 27 pounds.

I caved a few weeks ago. Throughout the day I ate a whole sleeve of ritz crackers. Also..for the fizz factor and my caffeine habit I always have a open can of coke zero in the fridge (my guilty pleasure). Take sips of it off and on. My surgery date was April 22....21 pounds lost.

I'm having issues with the healthy choice frozen yogurts. Yeah, only 100 calories and probably not that bad...but I don't just eat one...and I'm supposed to be low carb. I only eat one at a time...sure. But I ate THREE of them today. And a spoonful of Peanut Butter.< /p>

I hate the poster lmbo kidding but unfortunately I don't know if its cheat cuz I'm 1 year out & today I made a BBQ and ate steak & 2 bites of hotdogs & more steak & the worst I had soda. I haven't had soda in months cuz I did like 6 months post up. I feel guilty then again I don't. I'm 109 pounds. So it doesn't matter but now I'm suffering my stomach doesn't feel well :(

I think the big thing is to look at it like a one time thing. I know I used to let "mistakes" be an excuse to fail entirely. I'd cheat on a diet and then give up on the whole thing.no more. Now I think it's more motivation to get back on the horse.

Those Healthy Choice frozen yogurts are really good. I tried them before my surgery when I was looking for alternatives to ice cream for when it gets hot. I had trouble keeping my husband away from them! :-)

For me, if i can't have something that makes me want it that much more. My nut has cleared me to try anything. Nothing is off limits as long as i eat it in moderation and get my Protein in and stop at the first sign of fullness. Life is good and i love my tool :)

My worst so far was Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I was having a hard day with not feeling 'normal' and we were out on a day trip and came across a B&J shop. I got a small of my favorite flavor, which had been discontinued years ago and they brought it back literally a week after I had surgery. Something I won't do again for quite awhile, but I'm not sorry I did it. I needed to feel normal for just one day, and I did. Made me happy.

and we have a conagra plant here in town so we have a conagra store. So I get them super cheap. 1.75 for a 3 pack and $6.50 for a 12 pack. I mean...come on. It's like 0.55 per one. Little evil carb filled things! But I don't seem to have problems with sugar or milk. Just fat. so.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
